Every year thousands of people realize their dreams of becoming Permanent Residence within Canada and there is no reason you can’t be among them. The immigration streams under the permanent residence category allow one to live, work and study in Canada on a permanent basis.

It is important to determine which immigration stream would be best suited for you in order to avoid a denied application. It is for this reason why it is highly recommended that you seek the counsel of an immigration expert, the navigate the logistical hurdles often encountered by novices.

When submitting an application for permanent residence, one may also choose to include his or her spouse along with dependants. After a successful application has been lodged, an applicant who has been granted permanent residence may be eligible to move with his or her spouse along with dependents to Canada.

If you hold permanent resident status in Canada, you will need to show your permanent residence card anytime you wish to re-enter. To the benefit of Canadian immigrants, there are plenty of ways to get it. For starters, if you are a new permanent resident to Canada, there is no need to apply for a card as one will be sent to you automatically.

Simply provide your Canadian mailing address via mail or the online tool within 180 days of arriving in Canada. If you fail to do this during the 180-day timeline, you will have to pay a $50 processing fee to receive a new card.

You are eligible for a new card, if:

You’ve lost your card

You've had it stolen

You've legally changed your name

Your card has or will expire in the next nine months

To begin, simply complete the steps in the application process, which range from getting copies of your passport to supplying a photo for the card. Next, pay your application fees online and submit your application for processing. The processing times will vary based on the time of year you are applying.
